(The tune probably has a more dignified origin, but that's the playground lyric I learned to it.) |

Her lyrics are something like: I am a pretty little Dutch girl, as pretty as can be. And all the boys in my hometown go wickedy-wack for me! My boyfriend's name is [fill in name] he comes from [fill in boyfriend's childhood home] with [something, something] nose and [something, something] toes and that's the way my story goes! Sorry I couldn't remember all of the lyrics. Don |

16 Mar 10 - 03:52 PM (#2865483) Subject: RE: tune ID question From: clueless don After listening to Jack Campin's link to "Miss Lucy had some leeches", I realized that I have also heard this tune used for the song that I know as "Lulu had a steamboat" ("Lulu had a steamboat, the steamboat had a bell, Lulu went to heaven, ..."), but which I have also heard as "Miss Lucy had a steamboat". I firmly maintain that this tune is **not** the correct tune for "Lulu had a steamboat". Opinions vary. Don |
